The size of the building is very large, the charge by the bricklayer is very modest, I cannot see any place in the entire list that is too high, the charge is fair.

Oga spyder, if you don't mind sharing, how tall is the tank stand? How much taller than the house is it? I think it looks significantly taller. Welldone, my brother.

Yes the tank stand is tall, the pipes were made up to be 40ft, 4 foot is cast into the ground as footing for the stand. It might be taller than house, but it is good for enough water pressure.

I am still having issues with wooden door selection for this house, so this morning I left to the place they manufacture wooden doors locally. The timber market in Enugu, door building section. And they were things I saw today.......

We all know about the foreign imports on wooden doors, so have issues I dont like, the frame of the foreign wooden doors are not real wood. They start to spoil after soaking some water, especially those in the toilets and baths.

My mission today was to find local alternatives, but we all know how shabby our people can be, especially with finishing of anything. I started to seek for people that can use sand paper and slowly grind the wood surfaces till they are very smooth....... and I worked with a few guys in their timber market workshops......

There are some carved designs, these ones sell for about 12k each, without the frames which cost an average of N7k depending on the quality of wood the frame is made from.

Check out more local doors, the first from the right of the picture is a door designed with thick plywood in the middle, selling for N15k, next left is N5k, N12k in that order.

The attraction here is that you can choose your design, height and width, custom made for you.

y not get a builder or an engineer to supervise your job instead of consulting.
You would have consulted your builder or engineer, he wil be in the best position to give a good reply.

Spyder, thank you for your commitment and passion. It is well appreciated. We talked on phone about doors and here you are!

Please can you show the pictures of the frames, especially to the one with ply wood in the middle? Also, do you have any other designs with the quality of the 15k type? Is there any other disadvantage to the foreign wooden doors, especially if you are not using them in toilets/baths?

I have a builder. It was he that introduced the Bricklayer, but I just want to know if the price is ideal. Well I have decided to use the Bricklayer since Sir Spider said the price was Okay. Well Thanks

I am planning to search the timber market in PH next, the market along Aba road to see what I come up with, maybe work closely with one carpenter, I wish to free some time this week to do more research on wooden doors. Most foreign wooden doors are not solid doors, I mean that there are spaces inside the wooden panel of foreign doors.

My Oga, I did not ignore you or any other person here I will look at my inbox and see if you sent me mails, I promise to reply in the shortest possible time like always. I have replied all of today's mails. Please Sir, what is your request once again, send me a reminder if I forget please.
But if your project is in Lagos, it might be better for another of our bosses here to handle your building in Lagos as my commitment in PH will take me into early next year. Thank you Sir.

Can't these doors be sprayed white? I see this in most holywood movies and they look a lot better than our regular brown shade.

Sure it could be sprayed white or any other colour after polishing and thats the attraction for me. I even asked the man to paint one door white for me to see, do it on the white plywood design while leaving the oval design in the middle to bear the current plywood colour. I think it will be fine, he refused, says except I pay for it first

Oga Syder,

Thank you very much. May God continue to bless you and your family. The project is in Lagos. If you recommend anybody here, it will be well appreciated because I bought my ticket already. Can't I manage N9m for a similar project like the one on this thread to roofing level ? I dont mind if it's 4 bedrooms instead of 5! Is there a way to improvise?

Please your input will be very appreciated. Thank you sir!

I can handle this project for you at N10m but can only be available to kickstart in January.

Here's a link to my ongoing project in Ondo state with a budget of N10.5m (Foundation to Roofing)

However, the final cost will be determined after site inspection.
